*Bunneh baking for fun; not for sale* You say “maple bacon” to someone, and it’s pretty likely their eyes will light up and they might even start drooling just a teeny bit. Add “cupcakes” to that, and the look turns to a mix of bewilderment and fascination. Try it. It’s […]

*Bunneh baking for fun; not for sale* Last year for Boyfriend’s son’s birthday, I made penguin cupcakes. Boyfriend’s “spirit animal,” if you will, is the penguin. Wanting to be like Daddy, O is really into penguins as well. I asked him what he wanted me to make for his birthday this […]

*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* Over the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, I went a little crazy. My family (and by this I mean ancestry, not my immediate family) is from Scotland originally, but later emigrated to Ireland. As someone of Scot-Irish descent, I felt it my duty to […]

This year, for the first time, I’m kind of into the whole Super Bowl thing. It helps that I live in Seattle, home of the Seahawks. The whole city is insanely excited about “us” being in the Super Bowl this year, and it’s difficult not to get at least a […]

I’ve had an idea for some cupcakes in my head for a while, so for a post-Christmas Christmas dinner, I decided to make a modified version. First step, a few days before the dinner, was melting both white and chocolate Wilton candy melts and putting them into squeeze bottles. Then […]
